The California boom.

People are fairly tumbling over each
other in their haste to become owners of
orange groves and vineyards in southern
Califordia. Scale bug and phyloxera have
no terr"rs for the eastern tourists; they
drink Of the vine and eat Of the fruit with
out dread Of pests; they dream Of the vine
clad cottage, covered with roses, in flow
ering orange grove; of orchards Of olive,
flowing with Hat oils; Of pomegranates,
with their rich, red fluid bursting from
their green sides IL does not occur to
them that the raising of fruit is attended
with labor and costly expenditure; that
one cannot work and live upon pOme-
granates, oranges and olive oil, nor upon
climate and imagination, but that the
stomach Of the laboring man yearns after
ham, side bacon and corned pork, brought
from the east; after coffee imported from
south America; after tea raised in China
or Japan; after sugar brought from the
Sandwich Islands and refined by Sir Ed
ward Steele; after -four. potatoes, rice and
corn; after clothes-for even the soft and
balmy climate OF southern California rem
ders clothing comfortable at all seasons,
and at times indispensable; that dwellings
are regarded as necessary for people who
have been reared in the indulgence of the
higher luxuries of civilization; that fences
are required for the inclosrue and protec-
tiOn Of crops; that barns and cowals are
needed for the housing of stock; that rs
none Of these things and the thousand
other commodities indispensable for com
fort can be raised in southern California,

Some time ago II friend of mine inter

from New Mexico without any mark upon

his housekeeper To open il on finding il in

was aroused by considerable cutlery
and found that the boa contained Great

friend immediately packed il OF 10 the

box il bit rabbit, and the animal almost
Immediately died. As We took il out OF
the box without any hesitation this NIGH,
just as well have happened to the person
who unpacked the monster -
The existence " this poisonous lizard
was unknown TO the recipient. and was,
believe, not known at the geological gar
dens. My friend wrote out TO his CORE
spondent in New Mexico. and found that
he. too, was unaware Of the poisonous
nature of the animal. and had only sent il
on account Of its rarity; but said the
